internet explorer download limit

[Thoric]

anyone know how to turn off the limiter that prevents you from downloading any more than 2 files at the same time?

thanks :thumb:

AFAIK you can disable it, But if you are downloading multilpe files from one server, you're likely to get banned/timeout or whatever.

yeah thats cool, but how do i turn it off?

Let me rephrase the statement above.
You can enable more downloads at one time. Disabling downloads would render the whole IE useless
I beleive its in your registry, so go there and tweak it.

I think this is the tweak you need.

if not look around in that site, it has plenty of stuff to play with :D

Put the following in your registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000032
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000032
